Our family of 9 stayed here for a week! The house is fabulousâwe didnât want to leave. We utilized the hot tub, sauna, fire pit and grill. We invited friends from town over for fresh Halibut and Salmon we caught. They told us they had all been to the house for a wedding or some function. Itâs definitely a Sitka landmark. (We saw a bear and multiple bald eagles through the binoculars! ) Highly recommend this house!
Magical time spent at Golden Alaskan Lodge. Hosts for the cabin very attentive. Memories for 4 generations have been made and taken home with us. The views of Silver Bay are amazing. Humpback whales seen while drinking our coffee. Great hiking paths close by. My favorite was watching and listening to the eagles in their natural habitat.
Beautiful setting and property. Clean, cozy and comfy. 4 adults had separate rooms. 2 bathrooms, one tub (upstairs bathroom has large tub). Owner and property mgrs very attern
Thank youq
Loved the location of this home! Itâs away from town , very quiet, Surrounded by forest & mountains. On the water & fabulous eagle watching !!! The house itself is comfortable , could use a few upgrades etcâŠ.. but overall very nice !!!
Great location overlooking the bay. Lots of beds, complete kitchen and laundry...everything you need. Plus the hot tub and sauna are a big plus. If you have a full house, bathrooms might be a little tight...esp if you have lots of females in your group.
This home is all about the location. The views are amazing, close to the trail and there is an EAGLE nesting on the property. Not sure it gets any cooler than that. Moring coffee and evening cocktails had a phenomenal view. Read prior reviews and think people are to harsh. Yes, the decor is older and worn but you are in Alaska and will not beat this location. Property Manager was very helpful. Quick to respond. I will say if you have 10 people the sleeping arraignments are not available. Roll out was provided but no where to really put it. Also, keep an open mind about the upstairs bathroom. Lacks privacy but has an amazing view! Thank you for sharing your home, we loved our stay.
This is a great house with amazing ocean and mountain views. Itâs perfect for a family staying in Sitka. It is close to hiking trails and not far from town. Every night we would sit on chairs by the living room window and see eagles soaring and whales breaching. Truly beautiful.
Come for the views alone!! You will never want to leave!
Spent four beautiful days at the Golden Alaskan Lodge and we will be back!! Came to visit our daughter stationed at Air Station Sitkaâ and so glad we picked the Golden Alaskan Lodge as our home base. Started our mornings with coffee by the bay windows watching the bald eagles fly by. Spent the days walking around downtown Sitka and hiking to secret spots that Iâm sure few tourists get to see! And after long days of hiking we would come home to our lodge on the hill and soak in the hot tub overlooking Silver Bay. Owner Brian was easily reachable and fixed one small problem right away. Also we arrived on a crazy stormy night and Brian had the house all lit up for us with the heaters on! Thanks again for everything Brian! Especially for the offer of extending our stay to include Alaska Day festivities! I have few regrets in lifeâ but not taking you up on your offer is one of them! Would have been so worth it just for one more morning coffee looking out at the bay! Come for the views alone! You will never want to leave.
Had the most wonderful week at this house!! It had everything needed and the house had the most wonderful views. We had the luck of meeting the owner and he was very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great week in Sitka.
My wife and I with our son's family, including grandkids shared an incredible week at the lodge. The lodge was very comfortable, quiet, fantastic views, and most relaxing porch suited for an early morning cup of coffee and a good book. Also very mesmerizing during the evening. Of course our weather all week long was great, not typical Sitka. The bike path across the street stretches from the end of the road just past the bear compound to the south and to town, nice for walking and biking. We rented bikes so biked to town, the bears, and trail heads, all convenient from the lodge. The tide pool across the street was also a great attraction for our grandkids. In bad weather the lodge would be cozy. We definitely will rent it again when we return to Sitka
This property is just like the pictures. It is a comfortable home with great views. It even comes with a pair of breeding bald eagles we enjoyed watching.
Beautiful home in a spectacular setting. Easy access to walks, hikes. On the Community Bus line to get into town or Fortress of the Bears. Host was very helpful.
We visited Sitka like we normally do for our yearly Mudball softball tournament. Our group was traveling over on the ferry from Juneau. The house fit our group of 6 with ease and had more beds if our group had been a little bit bigger. We didn't get to enjoy the house as much as other groups, but the hot tub at the end of 4 softball games per day was amazing. That was a huge draw for us to rent this space. We were able to sit in the hot tub, enjoy a cold beverage and even caught the northern lights at the beginning of September. Only having one shower was tricky, but we made it work. (There is a huge jacuzzi tub to enjoy). The view from the house to the water is beautiful! There is wi-fi available, as you do not have cell service (this can be a blessing or an annoyance).
I had some friends visiting from the lower 48 and wanted to show them the true beauty of Sitka. We stayed here two nights. I couldn't imagine a more perfect place to stay. We were blessed with sunny weather in the 50s. The only thing I would've changed about my personal experience here is to stay much, much longer.
